9.5 vs 10.5 rears

Hi,
I'm looking to buy sf challenge rims and loving the lips on the rears. It seems that the 10.5 has a bigger lip than 9.5? But i also read somewhere that changing the offsets on the 9.5 can also give bigger lips as well?? Can anybody tell me if this is true or not? Is there any cons about gettin the 10.5 instead of the 9.5? Also, is there any stores out there that sells these volks without waiting 2-3 months?
Thanks!

I have 10.5 in the rears with +20 offset. I'm sure you could go with a higher offset. Do a search and you should be able to find the different offsets people are running with 10.5 & 9.5 rears.

For the fronts, be sure to get the offset to clear the brakes (if you have the Brembos).

It's about 20-23 both 10.5 and 9.5 rears. Where did you get your rims? I'm still looking for a decent shop that will take orders. thanks
